Because I was so tired my general physician had me to have my thyroid doctor check me out. My thyroid prescription was fine. He wanted to be sure that my metabolism would stay reved up so he sent me to a shrink to get a prescription for Topomax. I was on a standstill when I was put on Topomax. I have been loosing 2-3 pounds every since. Usually 3 pounds. I have lost 90 pounds in 6 months. I have 30-50 pounds left to loose. I hope this helps. Sharon

I think we all feel that way now and again I feel that way on one week out of every month right before I weigh in. I am so afraid that bomb I will be done losing then weigh in and see the scale move makes me happy for a couple weeks then I'm back to worring again, You are doing great keep it up. 311/207/145 62 lbs to go

I have had a leak, loss of hair, nausea, hanging skin, and 3 hospital stays. I have never been so happy in my entire life. I have rode roller coasters, taken long walks, rode a stationary bike 5 miles, worked out, played with my son, smiled more, had more self confidence, don't need an extender on a airplane, wearing blue jeans with my shirt tucked in, gone on a date, gotten lots of compliments and just been happy. My sister told me just the other day that the place that she has seen it the most is in my eyes. She says they twinkle. People tell me I glow. When I think about where the past 6 months have taken me, the one thing that stands out is I don't mind looking in the mirror and seeing the person staring back at me. A person that was a long time lost under all that fat. No more. I am here and I am the happiest I have ever been. For all of you out there who are waiting or are post op with problems, it gets better. Just have faith and listen to what is being told to you. There are lots of smiles and good times ahead!!!
